I need help developing a Custom DataGridView control in C#

I want all the DataGridViews in my program to have nearly identical appearance behavior. What strategy accomplishes this in a way that maximizes code reuse and is easy to maintain? I think that I need some help expanding my fundamental understanding of how controls work in C#.

Here is a more specific description of my issue I have a rich client C# application with multiple datagridviews. All the datagridvews need to have nearly the same behavior and the same appearance. I have tried a few things to reduce the amount of duplicate code.

Initially I created a "Visual Appearance" class to handle the look and feel of row headers etc. I use it by sending the datagridview through a static "FormatDataGridview" method. That worked for awhile, but I began to notice I needed to doubleclick cells to access the drop downs. I only want my users to need to single click. I found code on the internet which gives me the behavior I want:
When user single clicks on a cell, DataGridView.CellEnter event is raised. Use the DataGridView.BeginEdit() method to put the current selected cell into EditMode.

I want all my DataGridView controls to have this behavior but I do not want to write this code 10x, so I put it into my local control library. I wont need to rewrite it, but I will need to manually add a reference to this function for each datagridview. My thought is that this approach will be difficult to maintain. I also thought about inheritance, but I was not sure how this would work in the context of controls. ( I did something like this before with unsatisfactory results)

EditOnEnter
---------------
Editing begins when the cell receives focus. This mode is useful when pressing the TAB key to enter values across a row, or when pressing the ENTER key to enter values down a column.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could test whether an element is contained in an array by using a Contains method just like the one available on List objects? Wouldn’t it be good if you could write code like this?
